Mikan (really too old to do but relative to others)
above in no order. So Ewing
might make the top 10.
If Yao holds up, Howard... he moves further down.
I just think Ewing's college career is overlapped
with his pro career. He might be 2nd or third best
college center of all time. Behind Jabbar and possibly
Walton.
The NBA listed him as a Center until
the Spurs protested that Yao would
get all the votes and Duncan would
not get a start.
He is a Center. Oberto is a power forward.
Duncan played Center when Robinson was
really the power forward.
I guess its a matter of how you view the position.
If you mention Barkely, Karl Malone, as some of the
best power forwards, then you have to call Duncan
a Center. Duncan plays closer to the basket and posts
up more than any 7 foot power forward ever. So I call him
a Center.
Twas fun.
